Only 70 years ago! The Jews were taken to the slaughterhouse as sheep.
60 years ago! We had no country or army.
Just a few hours after its creation, seven Arab countries declared war on our small Jewish state,
We were only 650,000 Jews, against the rest of the Arab world, without any Israeli Defense Army (IDF).
No powerful air force, only brave people.
Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia all attacked us at the same time.
The country that the United Nations gave us was 65% desert. The country was out of nowhere!
35 years ago! We have fought with the three most powerful armies in the Middle East, and we swept them ... YES ... in six days.
We have fought against various coalitions of Arab countries, which had modern armies and many Soviet weapons, and we have always defeated them!
Today we have:
A country*
An army*
A powerful air force *
A state of the art economy that exports millions of dollars *
Intel - Microsoft - IBM develops products at home *
Our doctors receive awards for medical research *
We have made the desert bloom, we sell oranges, flowers and vegetables to everyone.
Israel has sent its own satellites into space!
Three satellites at the same time!
We are proud to be in the same rank as: The United States, which has 250 million inhabitants.
Russia, which has 200 million inhabitants
China has 1.3 million inhabitants
Europe - France, Great Britain, Germany, with 350 million inhabitants.
The only countries in the world that send objects into space! Israel is now part of the family of nuclear powers, with the United States, Russia, China, India, France and Great Britain.
We have never officially admitted it, (but everyone knows it) and say that only 60 years ago, they took us, ashamed and desperate, to the sacrifice!
We have people cut off from the smoldering ruins of Europe, we win our wars here with less than nothing. We have built our little "Empire" out of nothing.
Who is Hamas to want to scare me? To intimidate me? You make me laugh!
The Passover was celebrated; let's not forget what it is about
We have survived the Pharaoh.
We survived the Greeks.
We have survived the Romans.
We have survived the Inquisition of Spain.
We have the pogroms in Russia.
We have survived Hitler.
We have survived the Germans.
We have survived the Holocaust.
We have survived the armies of seven Arab countries.
We have survived Saddam.
We will continue to survive also the enemies present today.
Think of any other moment in human history! Think about it, for us, the Jewish people, the situation has never been better! Next, let's face the world.
Remember: all the nations or cultures that once tried to destroy us, today no longer exist - although we still live!
Egypt?
The Greeks?
Alexander of Macedonia?
The Romans? Does anyone still speak Latin these days? )
The Third Reich?
And look at us,
The Nation of the Bible.
The slaves of Egypt.
We are still here!
And we speak the same language! Before and now! The Arabs do not know it yet, but they will learn that there is a God! ... As long as we maintain our identity, we will be forever!
So we apologize for not worrying.
For not crying.
For not being afraid
Things are good here.
They could certainly be better.
However: do not believe in the media, because they do not tell you that the parties are still taking place, people are still living, people are still leaving, people are leaving to see their friends.
Yes, our moral is low. So what? Only because we mourn our dead, while others rejoice in the blood shed. That's why we're going to win at the end.
He never sleeps or will never sleep ... the Guardian of Israel ... Hashem, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
